Interesting content for this disaster fan, servicable writing. I learned a few things, especially about the Dust Bowl, but nothing really fresh here. As I read this in galley, it will be interesting to see if the photos are better integrated into the text in the finished book.

Good longer school-age nonfiction about disasters. Covers the topics well enough for the age group without being too overbearing. Good inclusion of pictures.

Good, and would be beneficial to any middle/high school student for a report/project- had some small grammatical and spelling errors that could have been fixed with a good copy editor, but nothing that took away from the enjoyment of the text.
I really enjoyed some of the earlier accounts, including the 1918 influenza outbreak and the Great Chicago Fire, though I wish there had been a bit more depth added to all of the accounts.
